Foot Water (60°f)
Foot water (60°F), symbolized as ftAq, is a unit of pressure measurement representing the height of a water column at 60°F that exerts a specific pressure.
History/Origin
The foot water (60°F) unit originated from the use of water column measurements in hydraulic and engineering applications, primarily in the United States, to quantify pressure in terms of the height of a water column at a standard temperature of 60°F.
Current Use
This unit is primarily used in engineering and scientific contexts to measure pressure, especially in fields related to hydraulics, water systems, and fluid dynamics, although it is less common today with the adoption of SI units.
Ton-Force (Long)/square Inch
Ton-force per square inch (tonf/in²) is a unit of pressure representing the force exerted by one ton-force distributed over an area of one square inch.
History/Origin
The ton-force (long) originated from the imperial system of units used in the UK, where it was defined as the force exerted by a long ton (2,240 pounds) under standard gravity. It has been used historically in engineering and pressure measurements but has largely been replaced by SI units.
Current Use
Today, ton-force per square inch is rarely used in modern engineering, having been largely replaced by pascals (Pa) or pounds per square inch (psi). It may still appear in legacy systems or specific industrial contexts in the UK.
